People SERIOUSLY say to you "I'm so proud of you for not killing yourself" ? What in the hell? Why the hell would anybody say that to someone? ... that's insanely rude and just... wow.
Maybe it's because they think he lost his legs later in life? Something like that would propably make most people want to kill themselves. Still a weird thing to say though.
@@TheFox517 ? That doesn't matter at all. That shit is stupid rude. Why tf would someone say that to someone else? It would be weird for a stranger to say that they're "proud" of you for anything anyways lol.
I totally agree!! Saying that is is like saying "your life is so terrible anyone would decide not to live it" when actually the guy is just handicapped, he might be much happier than many not handicapped people
@@amazingsupergirl7125 Nothing to work on, it's unusual to see someone without legs and there is nothing wrong with being startled by that. The fact that they say "How are u doing?" half a second later already means they are completely fine with it.
@@amazingsupergirl7125 That's not really something that's possible to work on, considering that you're always going to be a little surprised initially to see someone without legs walking on their hands. It's unusual, plainly put.
When I was teaching English in Korea, I encountered a lot of people who had literally never seen a white person in real life before, and my eyes freaked people out. One of my students told me that I had "scary" eyes. I asked what she meant and she said, "They not people-color eyes; they cat-color eyes." One of my preschoolers looked up into my face and in a trembling voice gasped out, "Teacher! Your eyes! Green! WHY!?!?!" Another time I was sitting in a pizza shop just waiting for my take-out order when a girl walked in, did a double take, and cried out, "Your eyes are green!" I just muttered, "Yes, I know." A friend later said that I should have acted all freaked out and demanded a mirror to see for myself.
@@SwimmingInSunlight I came home from my last teaching stint about five years ago, I think. Koreans might see white people on TV and in the movies but they rarely see them in person outside of major cities, US military bases, and English cram schools.
I'm in a wheelchair and the reaction that annoys me most is when shop attendants talk to my husband instead of me - even if I have asked them something.
Tell your husband to look away and pretend he's not interested, seeing as it was you who asked the question. Then the shop attendant will learn his mistake.
I live in a foreign country and although I speak the language well enough to communicate, for example, in a store, they hear me out and then reply and continue talking to my husband who is a local. At first I used to be offended but now I just say thanks and walk away 🤷♀️
These funny stories reminded me of back in 1977 when I was 19 , I met a lady at a Medical Rehab Centre here in London , and she told a friend of hers that I had had a CAR ACCIDENT , I am now 61 and was BORN with Spina Bifida/ Hydrocephalus
some people get startled easily when the elevator doors open and they are not expecting someone to be inside ou outside, I imagine those people finding out this guy when the doors open. At night. In a deserted car park or whatever. I'm more of the distracted guy, i would probably step on him and trip on him without seeing him. i wonder how often that happens?
I have a condition and it makes me shaky, well I went to purchase a hard drive at bestbuy and the guy who was helping me asked if I was okay when I was holding my phone and showing him which hard drive I wanted. He thought I was going to faint and asked if I needed to sit down or have a water. I was actually pretty thirsty so I took him up on the offer on water and said not to worry, I just have a condition that makes me shaky.
@@sashabagdasarow497 I think they already saw a doctor as they clearly said "I have a *condition* " nobody says they have a condition unless a doctor checked it beforehand.
I have one eye, with poor peripheral vision, so if someone waved at me from a certain angle or tries to get my attention in a way I can’t tell they’re there, I get pretty weird reactions. I once dropped my wallet, and this lady was kind enough to pick it up and give it back to me. But she tried to get my attention by waving her hand near my face, obviously I was clueless, and I do have a bad habit of spacing out. She proceeded to rant about how rude kids these days were for ignoring “us old folk”, and every time I tried to tell her the situation in between her sentences she’d just get louder, I got my wallet back after about ten minutes but I _could not_ stop laughing after that, she was such a character
Okay the suicide comments really bother me. I have severe depression and before I was properly medicated I attempted suicide many times. That was due to a problem with my brain, not my life! Depression is a disorder, not a point of view. People who think living with a disability makes you depressed are probably depressed themselves and projecting. They think they must earn their sadness somehow through circumstance. Depression doesn't discriminate, and there's no obstacle that justifies suicide. Okay rant over. I really appreciate how you brush things like that off though. Your attitude is awesome and I aspire to be as understanding.
DUDE, this is absolutely awesome. Love the way you tell these little stories, with such lightness and humour. I get so many funny reactions to the fact that I - a 100% Swede who like most Swedes speak Swedish and English - also know Spanish. Multiple times, I've heard kids talking crap about me or other people in public with their parents, and when I say "No estoy de acuerdo" (I don't agree), you just see the parents getting so embarrased and the kids' minds being blown.
Dude, I LOVE the way you are telling stories or you impersonate those people :D omg people can be sooo weird.. I don't have an eye (I mean I do, but it is a prosthesis). In Polish phrase "to take a look at sth" is "rzucić na coś okiem" (literally to "throw an eye on sth"). When somebody asks me to "take a look" I usually say "really? are you sure you want me to do that?". People laugh nervously and it is sooo funny!
HAHA! " OH MY GOD! how are you doing? nice to meet you. " You are so charismatic and fun. Love your vids. Makes me in a good mood. And very interesting to see how you live and get around. Very logic really. You don't really think about some stuff before you see it. Keep on spreading the awareness! Peace!
You made my day..it was a pleasure meeting you...gotta reevaluate how i view things after this..i was just saying to myself i was tired from work and here you are legless with the best freaking attitude and coolest vibe..blessings to you and your family..keep being you
I guess I just have a stealthy walk because I can walk up to someone when they’re talking to a few other people and then start talking. Every single time, they jump like a foot like with your story with the waiter and go “WHERE DID YOU COME FROM??” And then I do it again like a minute later and I get the same reaction
I always get reactions from grown ups when they see ar talk to me, you see I'm like 15yrs and I sound like a 30yr old and I'm 6ft, so like the best reaction of them all was one day I was at one of my neighborhood stores, getting sum candy and shiz, and this woman cashier was like "do you need anything over here sir?" And she was behind the cigarettes and drinks and I was like, ummm no. I just came here for sour patch kids that, and besides I'm not old enough, and her face, when my mom came in, she looked sooo embarrassed, I laughed my lungs out when I left
It’s funny what kids can be traumatized by. When I was about 7 or 8, I was shopping with my mom and I saw this elderly lady with a twisted leg in some kind of brace. It freaked me out so badly that I was terrified of the dark after that. Even with a nightlight on, if I had to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, I would call for my mom down the hallway and she would have to get up from bed and see me to the bathroom (lest the Twisted Leg Lady attack me). I was traumatized by that memory for years. If children have endured trauma in their young lives beforehand, such as I did, it doesn’t take much to set them off. God bless! ❤️❤️
I once saw a guy with the same body type as rowdy use it as a zombie costume! Just put a little skateboard under his belly, covered it in gore and clothes and started crawling around, it was hilarious
I watched another channel that someone with no legs runs, he did some pranks where he dressed up as a realistic zombie and started dashing at people; it was hilarious. I think he was also missing one of his arms
Here's my reaction story: I've had eczema all of my life, especially on my face. When I was a baby people would never say that I was cute or anything they'd just say WHAT'S WRONG WITH HIS FACE?! 🤣
“...and some say that he is still running to this day” I appreciate you sharing these experiences with us! My husband requires forearm crutches due to Cerebral Palsy. Anyway, he’s always treated like a king when we go out anywhere and there is a door to go thru. Here I am with say, 2 suit cases, a duffle bag, and three sacks of snacks. Nothing. Yeah, we get cracked up now that he believes me.
I must admit the first few vids I was paying attention to your body, but your general spirit and overall attitude nomalized everything...last few vids I was only curious about your impression about Colorado etc..great attitude man.
When my dad was at school he had a friend with only three fingers on one hand. One day they had a substitute teacher in music and they were messing around and just really infuriating this guy. He's trying to teach and tries showing the class how to position their fingers on the keyboard. So my dad's friend tries to explain that he can't do it because he only has three fingers and this teacher loses it. He's yelling at him to go out and threatening detention until he says, 'no, really, look,' and holds up his hand. And this guy is just horrified, thinking that he could lose his job over this, meanwhile my dad and his friends are just losing their minds. Its one of my dad's favourite stories.
OMG the car wreck thing reminded me! Johnny Eck (professional sideshow entertainer with sacral agenesis) said that once he was out riding with his brother and a friend and they saw a road accident. They stopped and Johnny posed next to the car like he'd been squished in half and waited until the "nurse" was running up saying, "There's somebody here!" and he popped up onto his hands and she screamed and bowled over backwards. Thinking about it now I'm sure the story was BS as Johnny told it since I doubt that Johnny and Rob and their friend were callous enough to pull a stunt like that at a real road accident scene, but I'm guessing that Johnny probably did get the idea to pose that way and try to convince somebody that it was a road accident.
If I was just a kid who had never seen anybody with a condition like yours and you jumped out at me on Halloween, I would have definitely shit myself. That must have been hilarious.
I'm not disabled, but my joints are extra bendy. I can scratch my back, put my leg behind my head and some other weird stuff that would make most people scream in pain. Even my brother gets completely confused by that stuff sometimes.
I'm a student for sign language interpreting and one day I was in a cafe with my girlfriend who is also a student for sign language interpreting. Its very convenient and great practice so we signed to each other the whole time we were in the cafe. There was this woman at the table next to us who kept looking at us in a strange way. When I got up and asked her to move because I wanted to go to the restroom, she looked at me in shock and cried out "YOU CAN TALK?!" It was hilarious xD
The getting stuck in furniture thing reminds me of these old hotel commercials that used to be on TV in the late 80's and early 90's, where a guy comes out of a suitcase on a bed and you can only see his upper half. I think that's what people were thinking of when they see you, sometimes. I think it was Howard Johnson commercials, but I don't remember. Edit: Here's one of the commercials I'm talking about. ua-cam.com/video/PYl-E2Bk6lU/v-deo.html
Great video mate! Speaking of reactions when i encounter people with special needs and disabilities i can't help but to feel sorry for them, i don't say anything out loud and i know i probably shouldn't feel bad but i just do for some reason which is funny cuse the individual is probably happier than me after all.
I mean can't really help how we feel sometimes, all we can do is ask ourselves how we would want to be treated in the reverse roll, which I guess is true for most situations lol
Yo, is that Darth Maul? Heh, all jokes aside, I'm glad to see you don't see your condition as an obstacle and you're living life to the fullest. Kudos to you, dude! ^^
Dance club thing killed me. As for the life was terrible guy: why the hell is someone trying to convince you, a guy living your own life who honestly seems to me is happy as anyone else (definitely happier than me) that your life is terrible. What a nutcase. No crazy reactions I'm just very boring. Usually negative ones like looks (I'm a woman and hate make up) or something like weirdo even though I don't look different according to anyone else. So weird. Kids are so easy to scare on Halloween. One year I dressed In a skeleton costume and mask and bashed my face against a window. Most kids screamed and laughed but one got traumatized. The adult supervisor laughed hard.
Rowdy Burton I envy you there. I'm in the UK and grew up with a religious parent who was against it. We had a little fun though. I get to do a little bit as a grown up now. XD
People sometimes don’t understand that you’re capable to have a good life and be disabled to them not walking means it’s game over. I normally don’t get lots of rude comments for being paralyzed in a wheelchair but once there was a woman with her young son that stopped to ask what happened to me so I told them even though I could’ve said mind your own business I tried to be polite. I say I was in a car accident and the kid got sad like he didn’t want to hear it so I told him that it’s fine I’m okay I survived it. Then the mom looked at me and said no that’s not okay stop trying to scare me and my son. It was at a store I frequently shop at though so the cashiers know me and reprimanded her for approaching me to begin with.
My disability, is with my voice. I have a high pitched voice, than startles alot of people. Usually I get, got laryngitis? Or what happened to your voice. Kids usually say, why do i talk like that. One person told me i should see a doctor. Why? It doesnt bother me. I guess it bothered them.
I haven't heard too many men with that is there a reason why? I can kind of relate I go to the drive-through at the Wendy's or whatever and they said yes ma'am pull around I'm not a ma'am.
@@icemancometh8679 i wish i knew. At the moment i can only guess. I believe it is caused by allergies. Most of the time, my post nasal drip is extremely think, so one drop of water ends up stretching up to sometimes a foot long. Since the voical cords are very delicate, having think mucus hanging on the vocal cords may cause irritation of the vocal cords. This week a doctor, told me i might have polyps on the vocal cords, probably due to the allergies, but without visiting an ent doctor their guess is just as good as mine. If i could afford health insurance, then i might visit the doctor to get it checked out, otherwise until that day happens my voice may stay where it is now. To be honest, i don't care what my voice sounds like, it is how i am made. It doesnt bother me.
@@edwardcornell1263 on the show botched they were talking to this lady and she said she had a nose job and they said any fluid discharge? She was yes and they asked when? She goes this morning. She was leaking spinal fluid! so I guess you never had surgery so. You wouldn't want it to get worse, especially if it hasn't been like this all your life. Maybe Google your symptoms.
@@icemancometh8679 post nosal drip is not spinal fluid, everyone has post nosal drip. It is what keeps the back of the throat lubricated. This is normal. When you get a sore throat, it is because the throat is missing that liquid in keeping it moist. With that being said, allergies to a human body is your bodies reaction to something, whether mold, water, dander, etc. When the molecules get sucked into the body and we are allergic to it, the body starts putting up its defenses to fight off the foreign substance. If a weed module gets breathed into my nose and If i am allergic to it, my body will want to get rid of it. My post nasal drip is string cheese thick, this is how my body defends against foreign substances. So first, i will need an allergy test, to see what is causing thr thick mucus. Step two, is to avoid that as much as possiable. Step three would mostly be medication to minimize the allergies. Step four would be to see if i have any damage on the voical cords from all of that. Btw, i never had nose surgery, so the chances on get spinal cord fluid for me, would be rare.
I think my craziest reaction was to a fall I had. My knees hyper extend so one time we were playing kickball the orchestra I'm in. And I rolled my ankle into home like really bad, but cause it rolled while I was jumping when I landed my knee went backwards like it does sometimes. And I just fell over and wasn't getting back up (mostly to overplay the fall for comedy and because hurt like nothing else I had experienced yet) and the director just squealed really high and loud. She ran over to me like I was dying. And she starts checking out my leg. She says "OMG Brady your knee is broken" "Wdym this?" I say as I bend it backwards "They do that"
@@RowdyBurton just a lil bit it's understandable cause I'm the drum captain of the marching band so if I go down and can't walk it hurts the band real bad aswell
3:00 lucky thing you didn't get hot stuff spilled all over you. Also I would have a similar reaction to that kid if anyone jumped out of the bushes at me. I'm a jumpy person lol.
This video had me laughing 😄 My favorite reaction was when my brother was babysitting me when I was probably four or five years old. I liked to wear a Spiderman costume a lot when I was that age. He put me to bed but I decided to put on my costume to sneak around the house. I guess I wasn't too sneaky, because he saw me and freaked out 😆
I have no serious illness or disability, but I have shaky hands, and sometimes it gets really crazy (it's probably genetic as my mother has the same issue). Especially when I'm under stress, but also randomly, my hands shake like hell and I can't do anything about it but wait it out. One time, I was helping at our community at the bar, and my hands got all shaky, and it got difficult for me to pour drinks since I spilled a lot. One lady thought it was necessary to tell me to have a drink so I would calm down and not be so nervous. I could have punched her, really. Making comments like that, even if you think you are hilarious, are just rude. Like, you see someone who is nervous and you make a light-hearted comment - that's fine. You see someone who is not nervous but has shaky hands and obviously struggles with basic things and you make a personal remark about that - not fine.
If i didnt have legs it wouldnt matter since i always sit at my computer :D But walking with hands would be a problem with my ocd since i would have to wash hands everytime
my daughter is SO blunt one time she saw a man with an eye patch and yelled in the public library MOM LOOK A PIRATE! COOL!!!!! I turned red as a beat and said no honey he might need that for an injury but it's not a costume and name calling is not kind while the man stared me down to see my reaction. . .. .
In high school I had to perform my dance that I had missed, I was in dance class and our final was to perform in the dance show , well I had missed it and I went to school with majority African American, in Hispanics and as I was getting ready to perform in front of a panel I went to the bathroom there was a two other girls who needed to perform and when I went inside the bathroom the girl was started, I asked her why she reacted like that and she said that the other girl told her that I was white and expected a white girl to walk in, I guess I could get why she was started because this was after school so not many people would be at school but I can’t believe that I, someone who looks very much Hispanic or Latino was described as a Caucasian , it continues to baffle me, well that’s about as craziest reaction I’ve had
If you got into an elevator and then someone asked how you were doing and moved to shake your hand... PLEASE tell me you've come back with 'Yo, give me a second, I'm walkin here!' (Probably a comment to have made 7 months ago, but I'm making it anyway! :D)

Watching from Birmingham, UK.
Keep up your excellent channel!
Thanks man!
You do a good job showing all how life does not stop you!
Man, you are a motivation for so many people, found you randomly and I love this channel
Thanks =)
Absolutely loving your videos man, keep them coming!
It’s funny what kids can be traumatized by. When I was about 7 or 8, I was shopping with my mom and I saw this elderly lady with a twisted leg in some kind of brace. It freaked me out so badly that I was terrified of the dark after that. Even with a nightlight on, if I had to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, I would call for my mom down the hallway and she would have to get up from bed and see me to the bathroom (lest the Twisted Leg Lady attack me). I was traumatized by that memory for years. If children have endured trauma in their young lives beforehand, such as I did, it doesn’t take much to set them off. God bless! ❤️❤️
Floxendoodle My god get a grip
that kid would survive any horror movie he's got good instincts.
ya i agree
I once saw a guy with the same body type as rowdy use it as a zombie costume! Just put a little skateboard under his belly, covered it in gore and clothes and started crawling around, it was hilarious
Dude! I just recently found your channel.
I immediately wished you were closer so you could scare the daylights out of my coworker! lol
lol, Welcome to the channel =)
Rowdy, I dig your perspective on life. Thanks for sharing your thoughts n awesome sense of humor! ✌️
Oh my gosh, dude, I can think of some hysterical Halloween costumes you could pull off!!!
I watched another channel that someone with no legs runs, he did some pranks where he dressed up as a realistic zombie and started dashing at people; it was hilarious.
I think he was also missing one of his arms
I love your videos Rowdy!
this was flipping helirous you had me dying of laughter hats off to yah mate.
This dude is one of the most humblest persons l have seen
Like better then people who are not disabled
Here's my reaction story: I've had eczema all of my life, especially on my face. When I was a baby people would never say that I was cute or anything they'd just say WHAT'S WRONG WITH HIS FACE?! 🤣
“...and some say that he is still running to this day” I appreciate you sharing these experiences with us! My husband requires forearm crutches due to Cerebral Palsy. Anyway, he’s always treated like a king when we go out anywhere and there is a door to go thru. Here I am with say, 2 suit cases, a duffle bag, and three sacks of snacks. Nothing. Yeah, we get cracked up now that he believes me.
My girlfriend can probably relate to this! haha
I must admit the first few vids I was paying attention to your body, but your general spirit and overall attitude nomalized everything...last few vids I was only curious about your impression about Colorado etc..great attitude man.
Why are you in that couch sir? hahaha classic Rowdy
When my dad was at school he had a friend with only three fingers on one hand. One day they had a substitute teacher in music and they were messing around and just really infuriating this guy. He's trying to teach and tries showing the class how to position their fingers on the keyboard. So my dad's friend tries to explain that he can't do it because he only has three fingers and this teacher loses it. He's yelling at him to go out and threatening detention until he says, 'no, really, look,' and holds up his hand. And this guy is just horrified, thinking that he could lose his job over this, meanwhile my dad and his friends are just losing their minds. Its one of my dad's favourite stories.
haha thats pretty funny!
OMG the car wreck thing reminded me! Johnny Eck (professional sideshow entertainer with sacral agenesis) said that once he was out riding with his brother and a friend and they saw a road accident. They stopped and Johnny posed next to the car like he'd been squished in half and waited until the "nurse" was running up saying, "There's somebody here!" and he popped up onto his hands and she screamed and bowled over backwards.
Thinking about it now I'm sure the story was BS as Johnny told it since I doubt that Johnny and Rob and their friend were callous enough to pull a stunt like that at a real road accident scene, but I'm guessing that Johnny probably did get the idea to pose that way and try to convince somebody that it was a road accident.
Just found your channel and I really love all your content, keep making videos! I could watch you talk forever, you're a funny dude 😁
Thanks, I appreciate that!
How can someone dislike your videos!?
If I was just a kid who had never seen anybody with a condition like yours and you jumped out at me on Halloween, I would have definitely shit myself. That must have been hilarious.
I'm not disabled, but my joints are extra bendy. I can scratch my back, put my leg behind my head and some other weird stuff that would make most people scream in pain. Even my brother gets completely confused by that stuff sometimes.
I'm watching your whole channel man, love it
I'm a student for sign language interpreting and one day I was in a cafe with my girlfriend who is also a student for sign language interpreting. Its very convenient and great practice so we signed to each other the whole time we were in the cafe. There was this woman at the table next to us who kept looking at us in a strange way. When I got up and asked her to move because I wanted to go to the restroom, she looked at me in shock and cried out "YOU CAN TALK?!"
It was hilarious xD
Lol! thats pretty funny
The getting stuck in furniture thing reminds me of these old hotel commercials that used to be on TV in the late 80's and early 90's, where a guy comes out of a suitcase on a bed and you can only see his upper half. I think that's what people were thinking of when they see you, sometimes. I think it was Howard Johnson commercials, but I don't remember. Edit: Here's one of the commercials I'm talking about. ua-cam.com/video/PYl-E2Bk6lU/v-deo.html
That's hilarious!
he gets the most kick out of elevator reactions :)
Usually people are scared when they see me in the elevator too. I have legs so I don't know what's up with that.
lol, idk, people man
this man would make an excellent brake dancer😂
You could pull off some pretty sweet costumes for halloween though. Zombie with gut hanging out, Centaur, skeletal bottom half etc. might be fun xD
Lmao I can imagine you just chillin out going into an elevator then someone getting startled by it hahaha
Great video mate! Speaking of reactions when i encounter people with special needs and disabilities i can't help but to feel sorry for them, i don't say anything out loud and i know i probably shouldn't feel bad but i just do for some reason which is funny cuse the individual is probably happier than me after all.
I mean can't really help how we feel sometimes, all we can do is ask ourselves how we would want to be treated in the reverse roll, which I guess is true for most situations lol
You are a very cool man.you are so upbeat...I love that.
Rowdy, that was great! Thanks for the chuckles 🤭
Dude you are so awsome and cool I love your channel I just came by it today and I am subscribing as soon as I finish writing this comment
I love your videos so much 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 the Halloween part with the kid is funny 😆
I had to laugh at these. I’m sorry but they were too funny. Really made my morning
Yo, is that Darth Maul?
Heh, all jokes aside, I'm glad to see you don't see your condition as an obstacle and you're living life to the fullest. Kudos to you, dude! ^^
How amazing is this guy ,,,,,,!!!!
Love you Rowdy. x
Dance club thing killed me.
As for the life was terrible guy: why the hell is someone trying to convince you, a guy living your own life who honestly seems to me is happy as anyone else (definitely happier than me) that your life is terrible. What a nutcase.
No crazy reactions I'm just very boring. Usually negative ones like looks (I'm a woman and hate make up) or something like weirdo even though I don't look different according to anyone else. So weird.
Kids are so easy to scare on Halloween. One year I dressed In a skeleton costume and mask and bashed my face against a window. Most kids screamed and laughed but one got traumatized. The adult supervisor laughed hard.
Yea it was pretty crazy.
and yea halloween was always fun growing up!
Rowdy Burton I envy you there. I'm in the UK and grew up with a religious parent who was against it. We had a little fun though. I get to do a little bit as a grown up now. XD
lol dude, please record that halloween prank next time. Im sure it would be hilarious
Dam, I like this guy. Here is a like and a sub :O
People sometimes don’t understand that you’re capable to have a good life and be disabled to them not walking means it’s game over. I normally don’t get lots of rude comments for being paralyzed in a wheelchair but once there was a woman with her young son that stopped to ask what happened to me so I told them even though I could’ve said mind your own business I tried to be polite. I say I was in a car accident and the kid got sad like he didn’t want to hear it so I told him that it’s fine I’m okay I survived it. Then the mom looked at me and said no that’s not okay stop trying to scare me and my son. It was at a store I frequently shop at though so the cashiers know me and reprimanded her for approaching me to begin with.
dang, that did seem like a rude response. and also scare a kid? thats life, lol
My disability, is with my voice. I have a high pitched voice, than startles alot of people. Usually I get, got laryngitis? Or what happened to your voice. Kids usually say, why do i talk like that. One person told me i should see a doctor. Why? It doesnt bother me. I guess it bothered them.
I haven't heard too many men with that is there a reason why? I can kind of relate I go to the drive-through at the Wendy's or whatever and they said yes ma'am pull around I'm not a ma'am.
@@icemancometh8679 i wish i knew. At the moment i can only guess. I believe it is caused by allergies. Most of the time, my post nasal drip is extremely think, so one drop of water ends up stretching up to sometimes a foot long. Since the voical cords are very delicate, having think mucus hanging on the vocal cords may cause irritation of the vocal cords. This week a doctor, told me i might have polyps on the vocal cords, probably due to the allergies, but without visiting an ent doctor their guess is just as good as mine. If i could afford health insurance, then i might visit the doctor to get it checked out, otherwise until that day happens my voice may stay where it is now. To be honest, i don't care what my voice sounds like, it is how i am made. It doesnt bother me.
@@edwardcornell1263 on the show botched they were talking to this lady and she said she had a nose job and they said any fluid discharge? She was yes and they asked when? She goes this morning. She was leaking spinal fluid! so I guess you never had surgery so. You wouldn't want it to get worse, especially if it hasn't been like this all your life. Maybe Google your symptoms.
@@icemancometh8679 post nosal drip is not spinal fluid, everyone has post nosal drip. It is what keeps the back of the throat lubricated. This is normal. When you get a sore throat, it is because the throat is missing that liquid in keeping it moist. With that being said, allergies to a human body is your bodies reaction to something, whether mold, water, dander, etc. When the molecules get sucked into the body and we are allergic to it, the body starts putting up its defenses to fight off the foreign substance. If a weed module gets breathed into my nose and If i am allergic to it, my body will want to get rid of it. My post nasal drip is string cheese thick, this is how my body defends against foreign substances. So first, i will need an allergy test, to see what is causing thr thick mucus. Step two, is to avoid that as much as possiable. Step three would mostly be medication to minimize the allergies. Step four would be to see if i have any damage on the voical cords from all of that. Btw, i never had nose surgery, so the chances on get spinal cord fluid for me, would be rare.
I think my craziest reaction was to a fall I had. My knees hyper extend so one time we were playing kickball the orchestra I'm in. And I rolled my ankle into home like really bad, but cause it rolled while I was jumping when I landed my knee went backwards like it does sometimes. And I just fell over and wasn't getting back up (mostly to overplay the fall for comedy and because hurt like nothing else I had experienced yet) and the director just squealed really high and loud. She ran over to me like I was dying. And she starts checking out my leg. She says
"OMG Brady your knee is broken"
"Wdym this?" I say as I bend it backwards
"They do that"
Oh dang, sounds like you really gave her a scare! lol
@@RowdyBurton just a lil bit it's understandable cause I'm the drum captain of the marching band so if I go down and can't walk it hurts the band real bad aswell
You're amazing!👍
Hi.. I think you should record a “Halloween prank reaction” ... it would be hilarious (and don’t feel guilty for the pranked kids 😉) ...🤣
..Bye..
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 keep it up Rowdy!😉
3:00 lucky thing you didn't get hot stuff spilled all over you. Also I would have a similar reaction to that kid if anyone jumped out of the bushes at me. I'm a jumpy person lol.
arms of a titan
I love your humor 😂😂😂
This video had me laughing 😄 My favorite reaction was when my brother was babysitting me when I was probably four or five years old. I liked to wear a Spiderman costume a lot when I was that age. He put me to bed but I decided to put on my costume to sneak around the house. I guess I wasn't too sneaky, because he saw me and freaked out 😆
You 're such a hottie, and your sense of humour is awesome.
you are awesome bro!
I was in Sri Lanka, and I have blonde hair. People would point at me and play with my hair, and a little girl called me Goldilocks
At least people notice you.
To me, people act like I am invisible.
alas, nobody has a perfect life
Rowdy I want you to look me in the eye, dont be scared now. Im proud of you
I have no serious illness or disability, but I have shaky hands, and sometimes it gets really crazy (it's probably genetic as my mother has the same issue). Especially when I'm under stress, but also randomly, my hands shake like hell and I can't do anything about it but wait it out. One time, I was helping at our community at the bar, and my hands got all shaky, and it got difficult for me to pour drinks since I spilled a lot. One lady thought it was necessary to tell me to have a drink so I would calm down and not be so nervous. I could have punched her, really. Making comments like that, even if you think you are hilarious, are just rude. Like, you see someone who is nervous and you make a light-hearted comment - that's fine. You see someone who is not nervous but has shaky hands and obviously struggles with basic things and you make a personal remark about that - not fine.
This guy is so badass.
dude you could play half a zombie in movies
Or literally anything else that's half a person without needing special effects
If i didnt have legs it wouldnt matter since i always sit at my computer :D But walking with hands would be a problem with my ocd since i would have to wash hands everytime
my daughter is SO blunt one time she saw a man with an eye patch and yelled in the public library MOM LOOK A PIRATE! COOL!!!!! I turned red as a beat and said no honey he might need that for an injury but it's not a costume and name calling is not kind while the man stared me down to see my reaction. . .. .
In high school I had to perform my dance that I had missed, I was in dance class and our final was to perform in the dance show , well I had missed it and I went to school with majority African American, in Hispanics and as I was getting ready to perform in front of a panel I went to the bathroom there was a two other girls who needed to perform and when I went inside the bathroom the girl was started, I asked her why she reacted like that and she said that the other girl told her that I was white and expected a white girl to walk in, I guess I could get why she was started because this was after school so not many people would be at school but I can’t believe that I, someone who looks very much Hispanic or Latino was described as a Caucasian , it continues to baffle me, well that’s about as craziest reaction I’ve had
Haha, well you are what u look like to other people i guess
Number 15: Burger King hand lettuce.
That was pretty funny. You should make prank videos or something so we can see such reactions ourselves lol.
If you got into an elevator and then someone asked how you were doing and moved to shake your hand... PLEASE tell me you've come back with 'Yo, give me a second, I'm walkin here!' (Probably a comment to have made 7 months ago, but I'm making it anyway! :D)
